Let x is the first no. then the other no. will obviously be (x+1)

according to question,
(x+1)²- x²= 15
x² +2x+1 - x² = 15 ( using (a+b)²= a²+ b² + 2ab )
2x + 1 = 15
2x = 14
x = 7

hence numbers are x = 7 and x +1 = 7+1 = 8
also 8²-7² = 64-49 = 15

hence the numbers are 7 and 8

hope it helped

a) Saturn is 9.1 * 10^8 miles from the sun and earth is 9.3 * 10^7 miles from the sun. By what distance is one planet closer to
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

8.17 * 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Saturn is 9.1 * 10^8 miles from the sun, and earth is 9.3 * 10^7 miles from the sun. From this, we can see that Saturn is much farther from the sun than the earth.

To find the distance of one planet closer to the sun than the other planet, we can subtract 9.3 * 10^7 from 9.1 * 10^8.

Original expression: 9.1 * 10^8 - 9.3 * 10^7

Convert both sides to 10^7: 91 * 10^7 - 9.3 * 10^7

Subtract: 81.7 * 10^7

Simplify: 8.17 * 10^8

Let me know if this helps!

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:5 if A is at (0, 15) and B is at (20, 0).
Airida [17]

C

a ratio of 5 : 5 simplifies to 1 : 1, which basically means we require the midpoint of the line segment

using the midpoint formula

M = [\frac{1}{2} (0 + 20 ), \frac{1}{2} (15 + 0)] = (10, 7.5 )
